The honey bee plant was introduced to
this country by accident. a gentleman
Of Versailles, N. Y, brought some speci-
mems of odd plants from the Bermudas.
During house cleaning time they were
thrown into a corner OF the garden, and
this plant came up. 1t resembles a thistle
in appearance, and each plant has about
thirty blossoms. 1t is considered the best
honey plant in existence, and now it is
discovered that the seeds are 80 rich In

The 80 called Indian doctor" who
penetrates our cities and towns, or per-
ambulates the villages and rural districts,
preying upon the superstitions Of civil
cation, if really a red man, is never a
true sham or medicine man. but some
knave, who has profited by association
with the whites, taking q leaf from the
book of the pale faced charlatan. By
assumed stoicism, dignity, imperturba-
bility and brevity of speech, the reasons
for which last are obvious, along with
glances replete with concentrated wis
dom, he has little difficulty in securing
dupes and following.
The true sham, or medicine man" is
little understood by civilization, since he
exhibits a phase of savage life that is
rarely permitted TO come under casual
observation. Very far from being a
mere knavish varlet, conspicuous for I'M
blushing impudence and petty %chicanery
as commonly depicted, he is instead a
staid, earnest, shrewd, farseeing man,
more han ordinarily endowed with per-
ceptive faculties sharpened by observa-
ton and training, and accustomed to re-
ceive impressions and draw conclusions
from matters SO trivial as to elude gen
eral comprehension. AS a rule he il
honest-as the world goes-and a firm
believer in the truthfulness and advan-
tages of his calling. The deceits he prac-
tees are unavoidable, and less with a
view to delude humanity thar to cajole
and beguile the unseen and unknown.
He is a mind reader" psychologist,
mesmerist and ~clairvoyant in one-of no
mean ability; an endowment that,
though sometimes inherent, is oftener in
culcated and developed through ecstasia.

We offer no apology for deyoting so much time

diseases believing that no condition OF humanity
Is too wretched to merit the sympathy and best
services of the profession to which we belong

the physician who devotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less a
philanthrophist and a benefactor to his race
thai the surgeon or physician who by close APP

Is dawnlng when the false phlisnthrophy that

us. It was thus we returned to port and
the news Of our arrival and the mutiny
kicked up grand excitement, We wer0
at once put under arrest, as ne expected
to be, and for the first week or two all
the talk was to the effect that every man
Of us would be hanged. It didn't seem
to occur to the people at large that We
could have any defense, and we were
condemned long enough before the trial
came on. The owners Of the ship were
rich as well as penurious, and they wanted
us executed as warning to other sailors.
However, when the trial came on the gem
eral public got something to open their
eyes. Our lawyers had had the provisions
inspected by medical men, and had saved
samples for the jury. The medical gen.
tlemen affirmed that no human stomach
could retain such provisions, and recon-
mended that the owners be promptly
prosecuted. Then WE had the name OF
the mate to the statement Of facts, the
testimony of the steward and cook, and it
was shown that we had set signal and
behaved ourselves in an orderly way.
The case was decided in ten minutes,
and every man of Us was set at liberty.
There was talk of suits against the ship
owners, but they sent an agent around to
each one Of us with e10 note, and we
made no, move. against them. Our trial
and the facts brought out brought to light
other facts, one of which was that British
sailors were treated worse than ours, and
were fed mostly on condemed stores. A
social and political agitation resulted, and
from it grew the government inspectors
and the laws which give Sailor Jack the
rights Of human being. The move
witch PlimsolI made against overlooking
was an offshoot Of ou.mutiny, and Ihave
heard it declared that our adventure was
the best thing that could have happened
for sailors on any ocean.-New York Sun.

Irving to Get a Drink.

"Ah, good morning, good morning; fine

walked up to the bar in popular down

his advances with any degree of cordiality.

sheepish look on his face. s'That fellow, I"
continued the dispenser of red liquor, as
he deftly stirred up whisky cocktail,

though at most saloons he will be refused.
You have no idea Of the number of times
we have to refuse people credit. They
adopt all sorts Of schemes and devices to
beat saloons out of drinks, but this ap-
pealing Tm-a- -bartender.myself racket is
the latest one out. I probably give away
dozen or fifteen drinks q day, but If I
complied with every request the figures
would run up to $50. Sometimes give q
man drink because I really think he
needs it. I've seen men so nervous that I
actually believe that nothing but drink
would prevent them from an attack of the
snakes. When aman is as far gone as

A Horrible Bull Fight.

A fearful spectacle was witnessed at
Dax on the Adour, France, few weeks
ego A band of Spanish bull fighters had
introduced g powerful black steer upon
whom Joselto, the matador, aimed blow,
but missed, and, he was run down by the
brute. "a Of terror arose. But fJo-
seIto was up again and seemed unhurt
He now succeeded in stabbing the bull at
the chest, but the animal stood its ground.
A second and third thrust had no better
effect, although the man succeeded In
pushing his weapon to the hilt into the
animal, from which the blood ran in tor
rents. That was too much for the spec
tators. They began crying with pain,
bowling with disgust, and prepared to
finish the cruel Spaniard. Several times
he still succeeded in piercing the steer
with his sword, but could not stop the
animal from constantly charging against
his enemies. Now glasses and bottles
and chairs were hurled by the spectators
upon the Spaniard, who ran away, hand
ing his sword to another man, v!,o also
pierced the bull again and again without
finishing him. Several men then attacked
the beast with swords and lances, and
finally brought it down. But the spec
taclc had been too much for the auditory.
There arose q fearful, cry of vengeance
upon the sSpaniards, and the high and
strong inclosure was being attacked. The
Spaniards, however, were fortunate
enough to make their escape before the
lynching parties could lay hold Of them

Prophecy Concerning Germany,
= ;c doc1,rod that pri,cn William ia


1t is declared that Prince William is the
kaiser's fayorite. The people regard him
as the next emperor, for the feeling is q
settled one that the crown prince will not
live to succeed the kaiser. Though young
he shows strength and courage, and in his
own family brooks no interference. His
wife is year his senior, and thoroughly
German woman. The people say there
will be NO English influence from her, as
from the crown princess, who has been
English from first to last-a cleve- woman
in many ways, but not clever in conSeal-
ing her lack of sympathy for German GUS
toms and the German people.
Then there is the prophecy brought for
ward by the German people, who are
somewhat superstitious. Germany is to
be greatest, it says, under young ruler
who has but one arm, and has four sons.
He is to succeed an aged sovereign, carry
on great war successfully, and prove an
other Frederick the Great. The Germans
see in this the destiny of Prince William,
who was born with one arm, partly de-
formed, short and stiff. And they see in
his character all the requirements of the
prophecy, even down to the four sons.
But the power CT Germany wanes after
this ruler, and size is then to so down and
become an insignificant nation. So runs
the prophecy.-Berlin Cor. New York Sun.

Human Remains as Medicine.

Such details as all these are apt tc
sound to us strangely unreal as we read
them somewhat in tie, light Of travellers
tales, with refereace to- far away lands;
but 1t certainly is startling when; for the
first time, we realize how exactly descrip-
tive they are of the medicine lore OF our
own ancestors-in truth; to this day we
may find among ourselves some surv1yais
of the old superstitions still lingering IN
out of the way corners Thus it is only q
fewsyears since the skull Of a, suicide was
used IN sCaithnesstaB q drinking cup for
the cure Mtepilepsy. = Dr. Arthuri Mitchell
Knows OF case in which the body OF such
one was disinterred in order to obtain
her skull for this purpose.
It was, however, accounted more sure
specific for epilepsy to reduce part Of the
skull to powder and swallow it. Even
the moss which grew on such skulls was
deemed q certain cure for various diseases
Nor was this simply a popular superstition.
In the official Pharmacopria of the Col
lege of Physicians, of London, A. D. 1878,
the skull Of man who has died violent
death and the horn of a unicorn appear as
highly approved medicines. Again, In
1924, the same pharmacopnia mentions
unicorn's horn, human fat and human
skulls, dogs dung, toads, vipers and
worms among the really valuable medical
stores. The pharmacop9ia was revised in
1742, and various ingredients were re-
iected, but centipedes, vipers and lizards
were retained.
Nor were these strange compounds pre-
pared for human subjects only. In the
s.Angler's Wade Mecu1n," published in
1851, anglers are recommended to use an
ointment for the Turing OF fish, consisting,
among other horrible ingredients, ot mans
fat, cats fat, heron's fat, nsaf@tida, finely
powdered mummy, carnphor, oil of layen-
der, etc., and it was added that mans fat
could be obtained from the London chirur-
gcons concerned in anatomy. Miss G. F.
